The widely anticipated newest album by The Quireboys has finally arrived. After an extensive 30th Anniversary Tour, the Quireboys took some time off of touring to record a new album. They have been basically on the go touring for the past year non-stop solid. A typical day meant running from airport, to hotel room, throw down a meal, then on to sound check, then perform, get back to the hotel to sleep a couple winks, then back to the airport and on to the next city. There is very little time to be creative at this pace. In a remote recording studio in Sweden, they spent a much needed solid week isolated from the world and focussed on writing and recording. From this session came a batch of 10 new and fresh songs. This new material has been packaged together in a 4 disc box set along with the previously sold-out and unavailable acoustic album, Halfpenny Dancer. Included in the package is both the studio and live versions of Halfpenny Dancer. This is a massive box set with a whopping 40 songs with art and extras. It is available today in the U.K. and available in Canada and the U.S. on Amazon beginning April 21st.

Only ten dates remain on the U.K. leg of the Quireboys very popular Unplugged & Personal tour. Following that, they head over to the United States for the U.S. leg of the tour where they will be part of the Monsters Of Rock Hangover Cruise and performing at a handful of dates in New York and Philadelphia. The unplugged tours are performances where The Quireboys perform acoustic versions of their songs in smaller more intimate venues. The band members include Spike, Guy Griffin, Keith Weir and Paul Guerin. These performances are very popular and sell out fast, so it is advised to book early.

Don’t forget The Quireboys latest album, St. Cecilia And The Gypsy Soul is out at the end of March, so you may be able to pick up a copy at the U.S. shows.
